The natural sciences - at least to the extent that they are enshrined in certain institutions in the current cultural context of America - consist in a certain type of discipline which places a high value on intellectual homogeneity. Correspondingly, it aims at marginalizing original thinking. I'm sure those who support these conventions would argue persuasively about the need for such conventions. In any case, if one asks too many questions or the wrong kinds of them - one is seen as violating the intellectual homogeneity principle that is presumed to lie at the root of scientific advance.

Apologists for Dembski and Plantinga, Unite! Ever read Private Eye? This is definitely "Pseuds Corner" material.

No, only 2000 year old "original" thinking that has been refuted and debunked more times than can be counted.
